Eat the rich

We start by addressing the virus in the room - why we hate the "all in this together" narrative, how COVID hits the most vulnerable, and what is bringing us joy during these dark days. Then, on to the meat of the episode, we discuss everyone's favourite topic, PORN! Which countries are watching the most porn while we're all stuck in isolation, our own feelings about porn, along with some recommendations for ethical porn and porn industry docs. 

This month we're bringing you our episode on women in fiction but not before a very pointed rage about the TTC's new fare evasion campaign. We talk about our least favourite tropes, the importance of representation and the male gaze.

After a three month hiatus we are back! To mark our blessed return we're bringing you an episode on the construct of virginity in society. We talk about T.I's absolute mouth garbage regarding his daughter's "virginity checks", the history of the idea of virginity, as well as our own experiences.

You may or may not have noticed we took a little hiatus! Call it an extended Christmas vacation, or call it our lives being entirely overrun by the perils of capitalism. I'll leave that up to you. Nevertheless, we're back with a teaser. Listen to find out our new schedule, upcoming content and why we hate Little Women. For more information check out: awkwarderoticapodcast.wordpress.com.

We are finally bringing you the third instalment of our series on women and medicine. First we bring you some classic Toronto rage about cold weather in November and Don Cherry's assholery. Then we talk about endocrine chronic illnesses and how they are under funded, under researched and over all rage inducing. Check out our website for resources and links related to this topic: awkwarderoticapodcast.wordpress.com

We had the best intention of continuing our series on Women and Medicine with our episode on endocrine illnesses but unsurprisingly our rage turned into an entire episode! We talk about our insecurities, society's unfair beauty standards and the appropriation of different activist movements. A classic look into what we talk about over wine and crackers.

This marks the first episode in our series on Women in Medicine. First, as always, we rage. This week about babies in public.
